Meditation for the U.S. Congressby Corinne McLaughlin Please join us in this meditation, as crucial decisions are being made right now about health care and our economy (and because a new best-selling novel has millions of people focused on the metaphysical side of Washington):

Take a few deep breaths, to calm your physical body….your emotions….your mind. Breathe in peace and stillness, and exhale any tensions or worries. Allow your attention to be fully present in this moment, letting go of the past and the future. Dedicate this meditation to God or Spirit, asking for blessings, and align with the soul of our nation and its highest purpose.Visualize a beam of light from the higher spiritual dimensions streaming down onto the top of the Capitol building, radiating through the Statue of Lady Freedom on top, and then pouring down into the Capitol Rotunda below, filling it with light. Then visualize this beam of light going all the way down into the basement levels, until it is anchored in the core of the earth, and held by the Divine Mother.See this light radiating throughout the entire Capitol building, through the Senate chambers on the north side of the dome and the House chambers on the south side, and the surrounding Congressional offices, protecting this entire space as a sacred trust for the people.Visualize light and love pouring into all our senators and congressmen, helping them to align with their highest selves; see them being guided by God, acting more harmoniously, and synthesizing the best in all the proposals they’ve received.See the light filling them with wisdom and compassion so they can make wise decisions for the highest good of all the people.
